Nance v. School Bd. of Polk County

582 So.2d 134, 16 Fla. L. Week. D1777, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Jul 03, 1991)

A physician's medical opinion cannot be rejected on the basis of an inaccurate history unless the physician is questioned regarding the effect of the inaccuracy on his previously expressed opinion. In this case there was no inquiry of the doctor concerning the effect of an inadequate history and therefore it was error for the JCC to reject the doctor's testimony.
